Chapter 5: Bounties, Fame and Experience point conversion
Cat Viper left stealthily and went unnoticed by many people within the small community of houses. However, even if Alyssia knew that she had been watched by someone so high-profiled within the world of One Piece, within the first couple of years of her life, she still would not care so long as it did not interfere with her plans.
When looking at the Points System that was in place, she discovered that it ran according to the same system as Bounties and Fame and on a lower scale. For example, for Bounties in the various places…
The average bounty for the East Blue is rated at only 3,000,000 berries, making it the weakest sea in the world, and any bounty of 10,000,000 berries or higher is considered to be impressive within East Blue.
Meanwhile, at the Grand Line, the bounties could range from 10 million to 100 million and several individuals still have a very high reputation for their deeds and may even have 300 million or more, if they are at the level of one of the stronger Seven Warlords and even the Warlord's Bounty do not reflect their true fame and power.
Meanwhile, in the New World, second half of the Grand Line has more varied bounties and most Captains or Second in Commands usually have around 100 million or more berries bounty if they were to even survive in the New World.
And Four Emperor's bounties are roughly between Two and Six billion berries with their direct and strongest subordinate's being in the Six to Nine hundred million berries mark while some can surpass the bounty of a billion.
The same is true for the Minks, the Two Leaders fight one-on-one with Jack the Drought, who had a bounty of a billion berries, and then switched places during the day and night for many days until they got defeated because of the gas that was released.
Even later when they came back, they were able to defeat him once in Sulong form and almost killed him then the next fights they each were able to defeat him solo, eventually thanks to being able to use their form again while the other dealt with the candy used by the Big Mom pirate who was worth 700 million berries when they were both tired and wounded from their battle with Kaido and others. So, although their bounty were not known, they should be around eight to nine hundred million berries each, which shows the upper limit to the Minks strength who use Haki, Electro and Sulong and that is even if the conditions are met in order to transform.
Meanwhile, someone like Pedro who joined the Straw Hats for a while, had a bounty of 382,000,000 berries and people like Pekoms and members of the main force of the Musketeers and Guardians can defeat people with a bounty of 200 million or higher and even defeat many SMILE users in Kaido's army.
It was difficult to estimate the berries bounty for Alyssia's current strength and fame or for her opponent Tristan and luckily, she had the help of the system to convert it.
Since she had defeated a child Mink without the ability to use Electro, she had received five points worth the equivalent of five million berries and she gained additional Fame Points for those that had watched and the Achievement Points.
The adult Fish-men race of the Arlong Pirates were rumoured to be around ten or more million but because of their actions of not increasing their bounty due to bribes, even their weakest subordinate are strong fighters beyond their bounty if they fought at sea where they are superior, the same was for the Minks…
If they had the right conditions, their potential and estimated bounty would be high even at a young age because of their higher physical strength or abilities. So, the average child mink ranged from one to six million berries bounty according to the system to start off and the rest depends on their abilities they have mastered.
Five points were rewarded for Tristan's talent, fighting prowess and also because she was able to grow during the fight and put on a better show for those watching. So, while she remained known for the fight, she would receive one point for every person that knows her for as long as they remember her name.
Other than the additional one point that she received for the day, she also seemed to have earned ten more points because the people watching must have been within the range of one hundred million berries bounty and somewhere she seemed to earn an additional daily reward as high as one hundred points because of the Fame System's Point Rewards.
By which, one point was rewarded for those that were below ten million, 10 points for between ten and ninety-nine million, one hundred points for one hundred million and nine hundred and ninety-nine million, and then finally one thousand points daily if she is remembered by someone with a bounty of a billion or above.
After checking the system screen and clicking on the Status of her Skill level it showed the following,
[Martial Artist] Rank 0 - Non-Combatant/No Named Fighter
[Experience/Fame points] 139 / 500 (upper limit of stored points is 500 before upgrade)
Tips - Fight more opponents and spread your fame! Right now, you are weak and unknown but one day you might be able to become famous in your area. If you cannot defeat certain people within your area, travel to another location to issue challenges to spread your fame further and then return when you are stronger!
Thanks to many people watching, along with the additional one hundred and the twenty points rewarded she had gotten closer to the limit of her Points or Experience until it has been upgraded.
If anything, the additional Daily Reward was a large boost daily, so long as it remained. However, it just meant that she had to work just as hard in order to stay relevant even if it meant being known as a Martial Arts crazed person. Bad fame is still considered to be fame after all!
Checking the store, many things were available for purchase in the basic form but none of them were combat abilities for now since the system was still at level zero. There were only small gifts or information packages.
At level zero, very few things could be purchased and they were all between fifty to two hundred points each. However, they were mostly just smaller Skills or Knowledge to help out with various Professions or Talents.
For example, there was some items for Stamina, Endurance, Speed, Strength, Balance training, Avoidance training, and even Drawing, Writing, Reading, Basic Knowledge of beasts, Poisonous plants and berries, Basic one sword training and so on.
After looking through it for a while, she decided to choose Drawing package and then wait to see how her points go up in the next couple of days. As she paid the points, her Experience was lowered by fifty points. Then she had gained an additional point which showed that someone else had heard about her fight from someone else and had put her at ninety points after her first fight.
Immediately she began to look through her Drawing package, which contained the basics that she knew from art class at school while also showing some of the basic skills needed for other skills like drawing precise lines, curves etc, that are often included on a map along with various measurements.
She found this helpful because once she had fully reviewed it, she believed that she could begin to make slight sketches of the villages layout first and slowly expand it as she has grasped the skills.
After thinking about it for a while, she sighed with relief that she did not buy anything else right away because she could learn additional training methods from the adults to gain additional fame. As a martial artist defeating opponents wasn't the only goal and it was also to learn the teachings of others and master them.
'So, the first thing was to find a worthy teacher within the group of minks! Who can I choose as my master, who would survive a long time and have a fair amount of fame in Zou?'
She thought for a while and was unsure since while Pedro was still young when Roger died, he did grow up to be really strong and had a capable crew before they were destroyed by Big Mom. She did not know his current skills but knew he was taught in mainly sword skills and agility based techniques.
However, he did have enough insight to be able to train Carrot to best utilise her main talents and abilities in combat and gave her the clawed gauntlets to best utilise her style in combat rather than training her in the art of the sword.
After thinking a while Alyssia decided that no matter how old he was or his current strength, he was still a member of the Guardians and would probably be the best person to teach her to use Electro to suit her style of combat and also help hone her skills further and find several ways to help train her body further.
However first she decided to complete another mission to gain another reward and then she would stop for the day. She remembered that if she won ten duels in a row, she would gain an additional twenty points so she needed to at least complete most of it within the day.
While she did wish to complete it, she did not wish to overdo it or rush her progress because she knew that while she may become famous in the moment and for the day, but she may end up making people bored if she keeps something up for too long.
Any sport can seem fun to watch and can be watched every day but eventually after watching many games within a day, the game becomes repetitive, boring or mundane. So, they may take a break for a while or lose interest in the game.
It is the same for the Martial Arts duelling displays, if she keeps attracting attention and duelling ten or more times a day, eventually people will lose interest and ignore her announcement or request for a duel. Many may even lose interest in the fight even though it is right in the open.
So, Alyssia decided that she had all the time and she would challenge up to five people per day during a short period of time when the streets were more populated to maximize her points and to also keep the viewer's interest or she would spread her duels out in different locations so that she does not always entertain the same people every time, and attract new viewers.
While she was at it, she could also try to locate Carrot who had very high potential that was strong enough to clash with Zoro on their first meeting and also display powerful abilities later. In her mind she began to think.
'If I get Carrot to Pedro early, then perhaps she would not have to waste time training the sword with the Musketeers, which did not suit her fighting style and ability to leap into the air and stay up there for longer than others. Maybe I can also bring some others like Tristan along to see if he can guide her a little better.'
If it was just Tristan, Carrot and herself, it may not be too much of an inconvenience for Pedro to train them at once for a while and not interrupt his own training before he sets out to sea. Though Alyssia did feel sorry that he was going to lose most of his lifespan because of his failure to get a copy of Big Mom's Road Poneglyph.
